MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL. 10

We’re back with the tenth edition of Rendezvous. I feel like these will go up to Vol. 50 if you’re down for the ride. Last month’s RDV9 got tons of feedback and since these are my favorite mixes to do, I wanted to keep the groove going. I saw this photo on a Tumblr and for some reason it resonated with me. Photos, like art, can be interpreted in so many ways. There is a man rubbing a woman’s face and it looks like he is either coming or going, and she’s either sad or satisfied. The music in this compilation is sexy, but it has a moody element to it that reflects a sense of longing. I want to thank Noah for doing my artwork every month and carrying out these visions seamlessly. S/O to @CNTRBND for finding me P.M. Dawn. Tracks/link after the jump.

MAIYA PRESENTS…ORGANIZED CONFUSION

Hi Everyone. What can I say–it’s been quite a month. For starters, Blind I celebrated our first SXSW showcase (Check out the pictures here) and it was incredible to be in the presence of musical greatness.  It has been a whirlwind for me personally these past few weeks, dealing with moments of jubilation and euphoria to death, grief and setbacks. Music has been my window seat. This compilation was due Monday but I needed to gather my thoughts and get the sound right. It starts out mellow and soothing and ends a bit more chaotic–just how it’s sounded in my head. I hope you relate somehow. Tracks/link next door.
